NKR Presidential candidate Vitaly Balasanyan cast his ballot at a
polling station located in Askeran House of Culture. Journalists
asked him several questions.
– Mister Balasanyan, what did you vote for?
– I voted for Karabakh’s future, for our independence and supreme goal:
one Armenian republic.
– What expectations do you have from elections?
– I am convinced that we all together will find strength within
ourselves and will do the most important thing to further increase
Karabakh’s reputation. Free, fair and transparent election – this is
our principle.
– What are the problems that require urgent solution?
– First of all, the unsettled war. The second is Karabakh’s
independence and its participation in the negotiations. I would also
like to mention socio-economic problems, use of modern approaches
and innovations in economy.
– If you are elected president, what will be your first move?
– First I will declare that I am everyone’s president; there will
be no persecution irrespective of party belonging and views. If I am
not elected, we will continue to fight; we have already carried out
our minimum program. Karabakh will revive.
– If you are not elected, will you announce becoming opposition?
– Yes, unanimously.
